Knights Here In Force.
The organization of a council of the
Knights of Columbus last Sunday, at
the Elks' hall, proved to be one of the
most interesting fraternal doings ever
held in the city. Preparation for this
event have been pursued for several
weeks and the representation from all
parts of the surrounding country indi
cated conclusively that a deep interest
was taken. The new council is known
as Alliance council, No. 975 Knights of
Columbus. The work consisted of
three degrees, the first two of which
were put on by the O'Neill team and
the third by the Omaha delegation.
About fifty candidates were initiated.
By members of the order who have
attended other affairs of this kind it
was said that the initiation Sunday
was the best they had ever witnessed.
The work was executed without a hitch
and the seciet rites were most effective.
There was surely something decidedly
interesting and enlivening to the whole
affair, judging from the happy faces
after the work was completed. The
candidates gather in little knots here
aud there aud almost go into spasms
laughing about something no one
knows but themselves.
The first order of the day's doings
was in the forming of a lino of inarch
Sunday morning at 9:0, at the Elk's
hall, by the Knights and candidates and
marching to the Holy Rosary church,
where they attended solemn high mass
offered up by Rev. Father Cassidy, of
O'Neill. After the mass, Rev, Father
Galvin addressed the assembly and
dwelt most earnestly on the occasion
aud the obligations which the new mem
bers were about to assume. He re
minded them that the one great feature
of the order was charity and that if
thero was one among them that could
not forgive his brother or forgive his
neighbor, that man had better with
draw from admission to the order at
once. This is an order founded upon
charity and brotherly love only.
After the initiator' work was com
pleted, which, by the way, took from 2
in the afternoon till 10 at night, the
members repaired to the opera house,
where the ladies of the Holy Rosary
church had prepared a fine banquet for
the Knights. The interior of the hall
was handsomely decorated with the
colors of the order purple and white
and tho tables were adorned with ele
gant ware and beautiful flowers. As
the great crowd of manly Knights filed
into the room and took their scats, the
scene was one wo bolievo rarely equalled
in Alliance. Neat ntctui cards wero
placed at each plate, and it was not
long before the hungry guests, who had
fasted so long, wero actively engaged
in satisfying tho inner man. An
orchestra on the stngo added to the
enchantment of the occasion atid the
musical renditions were indeed pleas
ing. After the banquet had been given
due consideration, cigars were passed,
and the evening's pleasure was con
cluded by listening to toasts from the
various speakers. J. B, Kennedy
acted as tyastmuslor aud the following
gentlemen responded:
"Tho Knights of Columbus"
C. J. Smyth, Omaha, Nebr.
"American Citizenship aud Catho
licity" A. F. Mullen, O'Neill, Nebr.
"What shull wedo for the young
men?" Rev, Father Dalcv, Merna,

Omaha, Nebr.
